Retro, You have no idea. I had one I.d. If you have any complaints please refer them to the editor. I would guess AB is grateful for any contributors old or new at the moment, as long as they follow Site Rules.
I don’t spend my day glued to AB; but I have been posting about the absolute disaster Brexit has been to the UK economy for some considerable time (ask TTT).
Many think I’m being anti-British, wanting our country to do better – but these are the mad people.
Quite why anyone would think the loss of £40 billion in tax to the exchequer and over £100 billion to the UK economy is a good thing is beyond me – but something Brexiteers applaud.
Not only has our economy been greatly damaged, but we have become rule takers rather than rules makers as a result of leaving the EU, and we have lost our free movement of goods and people between the EU member States.
Most of the Brexiteers are indeed stupid people, believing the number on the side of a red bus and other demonstrable lies as told by Farage/Johnson/Davis and others – and continuing to spout/believe the lies themselves to this day.
Watch this analysis of the recent Question Time debate on the BBC; all of the Brexiteers are just spouting lies, or just taking complete nonsense in support of Brexit.
If people appeared on TV supporting the remoaners position, telling such lies or making complete nonsense statements, I would disown them – it would also make me seriously doubt my support for re-join if all people supporting such a position could do, was spout lies and talk nonsense (as the Brexiteers are doing).

The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement consists of:
a Free Trade Agreement, with ambitious cooperation on economic, social, environmental and fisheries issues;
a close partnership on citizens’ security, and;
an overarching governance framework.
//Our farmers and hospitality business owners struggle to get workers as the cheap labour from the eu is drying up.//
One of the principle aims of leaving the EU was to wean businesses off the seemingly limitless pool of cheap labour from the EU. It has done nothing but depress earnings in this country and good riddance to it.
// Some fresh fruit and veggies grown in the eu are sometimes less available the. They used to be.//
Are they? Have you any examples?
// Uk citizens can no longer get jobs in the eu without getting the equivalent of a green card//
What a chore. As retro explains, if you're intelligent enough to seek work abroad, you should be intelligent enough to fill in a few forms.
//…the boats landing on our shores with illegal immigrants,
What on Earth has that to do with membership (or not) of the EU?
//…. under funding of the NHS and dentistry.//
Ditto.
//The £350 million for the NHS promised by the blonde bombshell never materialised -none of it.//
Did it not?
//The funny thing is that since the bus we are actually spending a lot more than £350m extra on the NHS!//
Indeed. Department of Health and Social Care spending (Real terms in 2022/23 prices):-
2015=16: £141.1bn
2023-24: £182.0bn

Difference: £40.9bn (£786m per week)
I’m not sure anything was “promised”, but certainly something has materialised.
